PREFATORY  NOTE 

The  preparation  of  this  record  was  undertaken  as 
a  forlorn  hope  after  the  resignation  of  the  appointed 
committee,  but  no  apology  is  to  be  made  as  forlorn 
hopes  are  no  novelty  to  the  writer. 

The  publication  has  been  delayed  owing  to  other 
demands  on  the  writer's  time,  and  in  the  hope  that 
a  record  of  every  member  of  the  Class  might  be 
included.  It  now  seems  impossible  to  complete  the 
few  missing  biographies,  at  least  without  the 
employment  of  a  detective  agency. 

The  actual  work  of  compiling  and  writing  the 
record  has  been  done  by  the  Yale  Class  Secretaries 
Bureau,  and  the  thanks  of  the  Class  are  due  that 
institution  for  its  valuable  aid.

REUNIONS 

The  available  record  of  '87  S.,  as  a  Class,  since 
graduation  is  limited  to  a  brief  account  of  its 
reunions,  as  all  the  Class  records  were  destroyed  by 
fire  in  the  office  of  Secretary  Griggs  at  Waterbury, 
Conn.  Consequently  as  memory  is  not  always  reli- 
able, there  may  be  errors  in  the  following  lists  of 
those  present  at  the  earlier  reunions. 

TRIENNIAL 

Triennial  reunion  was  held,  June  24,  1890,  with

Hayden,  Jackson,  Jenkins,  Jewett,  Judson,  Kellogg,

the  Class  Boy,  Donald  Seymour  Tuttle,  son  of  H.

YORK  ANNUAL  DINNERS 
At  the  suggestion  of  the  reunion  committee,  annual 
Class  dinners  have  been  held  in  New  York  City  at 
the  University  or  Yale  clubs,  beginning  in  February, 
1911.  These  dinners  have  been  in  charge  of  Wal- 
ther,  Georger  and  Conner  and  have  been  very 
enjoyable  affairs. 

QUARTER  CENTENARY  REUNION 
Our  Quarter  Centenary  reunion,  arranged  by  a 
committee  consisting  of  Scaife  (chairman),  Conner, 
Georger,  Jenkins  and  Wood,  deserves  more  than 
passing  mention.  A  Class  fund  was  raised  from 
which,  after  paying  the  reunion  expenses,  four 
thousand  dollars  was  contributed  to  the  Yale  Alumni 
Fund. 

A  house  on  Wall  street  was  rented  for  headquar- 
ters during  Commencement  week  and  the  principal 
events  on  our  program  were  as  follows: 


viii  REUNIONS 

MONDAY,  JUNE  17. ,  A  Class  meeting  was  held 
at  which,  on  the  resignation  of  Griggs,  Jenkins  was 
elected  Class  secretary ;  Scaif  e  was  elected  president 
of  the  Class  and  chairman  of  the  next  reunion 
committee.  At  noon  we  journeyed  in  automobiles  to 
Georger's  farm  in  Cheshire,  where  we  were  delight- 
fully entertained  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Georger.  After 
luncheon  various  sports  were  indulged  in,  including 
a  real  baseball  game.  On  our  return  we  had  din- 
ner at  the  Graduates  Club  House,  at  Double  Beach. 

TUESDAY,  JUNE  18.  After  luncheon  at  headquar- 
ters, arrayed  in  our  new  uniforms,  we  posed  on 
Byers  Hall  steps  for  the  Class  picture;  then,  pre- 
ceded by  the  New  Britain  band,  we  marched  to 
Yale  Field  to  the  Yale-Harvard  game.  In  the  even- 
ing the  reunion  banquet  was  served  at  the  Lawn 
Club,  Judge  Bullard  presiding  as  toastmaster. 
President  Scaife  was  presented  with  a  loving  cup 
and  some  notable  speeches  were  heard.  It  is  worthy 
of  record,  as  showing  either  the  return  of  interest 
in  poetry  or  that  the  Class  learned  something  besides 
pure  and  applied  science  at  Sheff,  that  at  this  ban- 
quet, in  addition  to  four  new  songs  written  by  mem- 
bers of  the  Class,  at  least  three  toasts  were  responded 
to  in  original  verse. 

The  following  were  present  at  the  Quarter  Centen- 
ary reunion:  Adams,  Augur,  Bullard,  Coburn, 
Conner,  Cummings,  Day,  Durant,  Dyer,  French,

the  only  man  in  the  Colony  who  practiced  his  profession 
exclusively,  and  he  seems  to  have  suffered  considerably 
by  the  negligence  of  his  patients  in  paying  their  bills.

sions in  order  that  he  might  obtain  the  wherewithal  to

tive from  New  Haven  in  the  General  Assembly  of  1875. 
So  long  an  experience  had  especially  fitted  him  to  fill 
the  place  of  mayor,  and  though  normally  in  the  minority 
in  New  Haven,  he  was  elected  in  1879  for  a  two  years' 
term  by  a  large  majority.  It  was  during  his  administra- 
tion that  the  East  Rock  Park  Commission  was  created 
and  the  park  opened,  and  the  breakwaters  started.  Upon 
the  close  of  his  term  as  mayor,  he  was  elected  governor

was  elected  president  of  the  Merchants'  National  Bank.

(Swift)  Lewis.

Franklin  Georger,  a  retired  merchant,  and  sister  of 
Francis  Frederic  Georger,  Yale  '87  S.  They  had  no 
children. 

After  graduation  Bigelow  at  once  began  work  with 
the  Bigelow  Company,  manufacturers  of  steam 
boilers  and  plate  iron  work,  of  which  he  became  vice- 
president  in  1904.  For  several  years  before  his 
death  he  had  resided  in  New  York  City,  having 
charge  of  the  company's  interests  there.

He  died  suddenly  of  heart  failure  at  his  home  in

University  of  Berlin,  Germany,  in  1891-92.  For 
two  years  he  served  as  resident  physician  of  the 
Wilkes  Barre  City  Hospital. 

He  entered  the  United  States  Army  in  1893  as 
first  lieutenant,  and  subsequently  rose  to  the  ranks 
of  captain  and  major.  He  retired  in  1907,  settled  at

medicine  and  at  the  time  of  his  death  was  surgeon 
general  of  militia  in  the  State  of  Washington,  with 
the  rank  of  colonel. 

While  in  the  army  Major  Kulp  was  active  in 
making  improvements  in  the  service.  One  was  the 
establishment  of  what  is  now  known  in  the  army  as 
the  hospital  corps.  One  of  his  first  military  duties 
was  a  reindeer  expedition  into  Alaska,  where  he  was 
stationed  at  an  army  post  until  the  Spanish- American 
War  broke  out.  He  served  throughout  that  war  and

Twenty-second  Regiment,  United  States  Infantry, 
and  in  the  ambulance  company,  First  Division,  Third

and  Gen.  Lawton's  northern  expedition,  besides  many 
other  short  expeditions  and  skirmishes.  He  was  in 
forty  engagements  and  escaped  without  a  wound. 

He  was  a  member  of  various  hereditary  and 
military  societies  and  was  the  author  of  several 
monographs  on  medico-military  subjects.  After  the 
Philippine  insurrection  he  was  transferred  to  Manila

and  there  built  military  hospital  number  three.  In 
all  the  wars  of  the  republic  models  have  been  taken  of 
what  the  authorities  deemed  the  best  military  hos- 
pital, and  Kulp's  hospital  was  taken  as  the  model  of 
the  Spanish-American  War. 

After  the  war  he  was  sent  by  the  government  on  a 
trip  around  the  world  investigating  military  hospitals 
of  the  various  countries  in  Europe,  Asia  and 
Australia,  and  made  a  report  of  his  investigation  to
